Let me first say, Giannis Antetokounmpo is a terrific player and seems to be an awesome teammate as well. However, as a great philosopher once said, there’s levels to this.
And in today’s NBA, I don’t believe a player can truly be the most valuable in the league if he can’t get his own shot, and at this point, that simply isn’t something that Giannis has in his bag.
We’ve seen in the playoffs that when good defenses are able to focus on him and wall off his drives, the Greek Freak struggles offensively. It happened last year against the Toronto Raptors as his scoring plummeted and now the exact same formula is working for the Miami Heat.
